I remember a few years back Motor Trend had their entire crew and employees launch and abuse the 911 Turbo S back to back to see if the car will ever break , overheat or lock out the launch control. They did 50 or so back to back launches nonstop and the 0-60 time was consistent every single time with no heatsoak/overheating. Pretty freaking impressive for a car with the motor in the trunk lol.
The PCA test cars where they let the public test a turbo s acceleration has had thousands of launches and they claim there is no visible wear to the clutch packs with regular oil changes
I was at a shop once in my $500 pos, when one of the mechanics pointed out a BMW that was there for 4x $1200 a piece tires!!! That's like almost 10 times what my entire car cost, just for 4 tires!!! I could not imagine paying that much for tires, even if I could afford it!!! I mean, wtf!!!
When I was a teen I too wouldn't get why many people would be all hyped out about Porsche cars, even if their design looked the same and boring for a sports car. Now as a grown man, I finally get it...a sports car that is fast and incredible around corners, that you could daily drive. And with a sleek design, not screaming middle life crisis at your face.
I own a 991.1 turbo S. Some things to consider. You will not get any foliage into the side intakes. You definitely need to upgrade the exhaust (I have a soul and highly recommended). Additionally, you need to get grates for the front lower bumper intakes, you will get a ton of leaves and debris. Servicing is super easy. Easy to change oil. Air filter is a pain, requires removing the bumper. The PCM is junk. There are no options missing. That’s Porsche blanks from the base Carrara.
You gave some good advice. I've scrolled through the comments wondering what year this could be and haven't seen anything. Do you have any idea what year it could be?
Good choice. Porsche is my favorite as well. Been driving every car I can and the Porsches are incredible. The handling is unreal. They are also incredibly reliable. I'm planning to get a 911 Turbo S soon.
I just sold my 2021 cayenne for $107K after driving it like crazy for six months. Such an awesome suv for going off-road and towing. And endless controlled donuts 😂
Everything about this... My quick run down. 85 accord, 89 civic si, 88 crx si, 95 integra ls, 330xi, e90 m3. some randoms mixed in 535xi wagon, pos 4cyl ford ranger.. Not sure I can get rid of my m3... unless a nice 911 gets in my ability... nothing fancy, just solid. but 911...
Porsche 911 was my aspirational car since I was 8 years old. I bought my first, black ‘92 Carerra, 24 years ago and currently on my 4th: 991.1 GTS, 7MT. My feedback: Smallest depreciation for a sports car by far, super reliable and fantastic build quality; they feel like the same car 8+ years into ownership. Those that know... “know”. There is no substitute!
A buddy of mine had the 911 turbo a few years ago. I remember thinking to myself how foolish it was wasting his money on it. Then I drove it. I understand immediately why. It's as if where your eyes go. The car follows. It's so well balanced and at times you forget that it's a monster.
The clock is the secondary function of the time indicator. The Primary functionfocuses on the seconds not the hours and minutes ;) Its primary function is a stopwatch.
100% For anyone else who does not know. That would be the "Sport Chrono Package", as in Chronograph, as in.. "Its primary function is a stopwatch." or rather specifically - a precision lap time - once upon a time. Now it serves to indicate the vehicle has the Sport Chrono Package fitted - which is a list of functionality, modes, enhancement - Like Launch, Sport Response Control (super responsive throttle, brake and shifts ), Dynamic engine mounts - it links to the Precision track App and bring 5 driving and track modes. Bascially, its lets you know its track capable, and got a little something extra... Love what you get but not the clock.. each to their own.
I broke the habit after buying my - maybe - 40th car. I stopped counting at 30, and the last year before I retired, I owned 4 different cars. Well, the 4th one was a used, automatic version of the first of that group (Scion FR-S). So, I get to spend money vicariously through Rich! I think his most interesting video so far is the V8 Tesla. I think there's a future in converting EVs to ICEs!
The intro pretty much sums up how enthusiasts see EVs, every one of the ICE cars got a story:, why it was bought, what was done to it and how it made Rich feel. The Tesla was pretty much 'I bought one, drove it and gave it to my daughter, end of story'.
I would call myself enthusiast and Tesla Model Y is first car for me to do 2000 miles in less than 30 days. No vacation days, just weekend trips and going around town. I worked from home Monday to Friday all that time too, so it wasn't work commute either.
Yeah sure, of course ignore the fact that Porsche exists since many decades. Of course it has a story. Don't worry when Tesla is 50 or 60 years old, there will be enough stories about roadster 1 and 2 and 5 and whatever, and Model S Plaid etc.. You know a lot, not.

If I may Lucky enough to own Model 3 and 981 GT4. And I must be a Tesla fan boy since I own a lot more TLSA Stocks then I do POAHY The car brands are mostly playing in 2 different fields. You are comparing a company who currently does not produce a sport car vs. a well established sport car brand. But If you are going to compare them, it must be the Model S Plaid vs Taycan Turbo 4S So one is double the cost for half the performance across the board. Tesla wins in: Top speed, HP, Acceleration, range, infrastructure (charging Station), Pricing, ect...except for the braking performance with Porsche optional PPCC (Carbon Ceramic, I have those. Stopping power is amazing with zero fade). Porsche (part owned by VW) is fast tracking the EV options. They will have the 718 EV by 2024~25. And frankly, its either going to be that in my future or the Tesla Roadster (if it ever comes out). ICE cars days are numbered, yes I enjoy the sound of my flat 6 at 8K rpm. But frankly, I've spent on average $35 a year on the Tesla maintenance. And $4K on the 981. So give me that chassis performance of Porsche with the EV ease of ownership, and I am done with ICE. And yes I will keep one or two ICE in my collection and drive around maybe once a month. ICE days for the mass market is coming to an end fast. But that's ok. It means more gas available longer for those who will continue to enjoy their collection of soon to be "classics". And for your great-grand kids to enjoy as well.

Yes, a 911 is one of the best choices for a driving enthusiast, and there's very little on earth that's better than a Turbo S. A GT3 is more track focused, but for an all-arounder, the Turbo S is the way, the truth, and the light. Congratulations!

They publish complete service manuals and offer them to independent shops (at cost), and offer a catalog of every part used in production by generation for free.

As a Massachusetts resident, and being in several Porsche 911's (friend's cars I am a muscle car guy)...Porsche is amazing daily for our crappy streets and even snow if you want. They just do everything well. Congrats Rich
You are right! It is the best all around sports car that is my favorite. That was nice of you to let that kid launch your ride. I’d like to se you change out the wheels to a set of two or three piece BBS mesh wheels with the color of your choice!
From what I know, the blank buttons that you think is missing options actually aren't missing at all. Its just they used the same centre console in every Porsche and they could have other options such as a front lift.
Poor uncle Rich, guessed the shipping coast for his front spoiler. I hope they do not charge him for wiping it clean when it gets out of the box. Fun Show.
Crazy how far youve come dude. I remember the srt4 days. Went from cruising around worcester to 1.25M subs, and a legit business doing what you love. Congrats bro. BTW pretty sure I was on a flight from SD to BOS with you back in April #notcreepin
@@citizenerased1992 it's in Massachusetts. We don't pronounce our Rs so we say it "Woostah", but yeah, definitely not worCHester. You are correct on the proper pronunciation tho.
Hi Rich, great episode! The 991 Turbo S has tons of power reserves. Mere reprogramming and freeflow airfilters yield 635hp, while larger vtg turbos and exhaust will take you around 685hp. Carbon brakes are nice but if one warps (hot brakes and a puddle) they need to both be changed! If you ever visit Jackie Steward’s Green Hell, Nordschleife Nürburgring, Germany, ALL Porsches are running steel brakes. They will still pull your eyeballs out. The pinnacle for this car comes from 9ff where 1600hp are possible. Looking forward to seeing what you do!.
Just saw this for the first time. Welcome to the Porsche club, Rich! I have the Taycan now, but that's bc I wanted a DD with lots of room for the family. Very happy with it. I've also owned 911's and they were lovely too. Enjoy!
Congratulations on your 911 Turbo!! 🥳🥳. I remember when I bought my 964 Turbo over 20 years in black. Bad Boys car. Wish I never sold it. I’ve still got a few Porsches: 928 s4 924 turbo 944 but no 911.
Congrats man! Always love seeing a guy who grew up in a neon get a real deal car. Porsche has historically done nothing for me emotionally, but I’m also coming around. A friend got a gt3 and it’s hard to argue. I still love my m3 for hooning around and having fun…but there might be a Porsche in my future if I ever decide to be a serious person 😂
911 Turbo S has been my dream car for as long as I can remember (996) but up until a few years ago I started liking track cars, so now I think the best Sports Car ever is a GT2 RS
Rich, I my dad had the 944 when and last year I brought mines, 2020 Turbo S in racing silver, I have about 4K miles but every weekend I can, i love going for this ride. Hope you enjoy and it will be super reliable from what i know.
Nice review. I’ve the exact same model. Even the same colour, sapphire blue. I had a 997.2 turbo before. The first thing that struck me with the 991 turbo S was the pin sharp brakes and steering. Incredible cars 😃 Enjoy!!
That car is EVERYTHING!! I consider myself fortunate to own a Speed Yellow 997 911 Carrera with great options in a manual 6sp.. But this blue beauty is another thing. Wow. Congratulations.
As a lover of blue vehicles, and Porsches, that is a fantastic looking car. Yes, they have mesh covers for the intake ducts. Enjoy the ride and have fun with the club!
I'm surprised a salesman wasn't called in to convince him that buying a brand new Porsche would actually be cheaper than fixing everything that's wrong on his. That's usually how they get you.
Be glad you didn’t get the K5. Ours through a rod. It could go anywhere though. My dad once backed off an incline and rolled over, called a tow truck for a tip over; the wrecker got stuck, my dad pulled free back to the main road.
I one a Boxster of the same generation, and yes the car is amazing. I think this generation of Porsche interior is probably the best, excluding the blank buttons in the center console, and even fully loaded cars can have blanks. The cup holders are also much better then they appear to function. All I can say is welcome to the Porsche family, their really great reliable cars to daily drive, and you’ll love it.
Road and Track did 60 launches in a row in a test. They got tired before the car did. I think it actually picked up 2 tenths over the course of the test. (tires warmed up) Best was 2.4 I think.
Congrats and Welcome to the Porsche fan club, Uncle Rich! People don't truly understand the 'Porsche' passion until they've own one. For me, the only way to relatively economically own one of these is to service it myself, so I learned how to. Even then is a strain on the pocket to say the least but one got to pay to play I guess. Cheers from PR!
This and I've always found the shifters to be sloppy - at least the ones I've driven. Manual is very important to me and I'm not interested in paddle shifters.Not the best sports car to me, but each their own of course. But I'm spoiled - drive an RX-7 and see what I mean.
You're wrong. Owned two Porsches, both suffered catastrophic engine failures despite impeccable maintenance histories. Every time I brought then to the shop, I paid seven times the price for routine service. Replacement part and mechanical service costs are astronomical. Only purchase Japanese sportscars ever since. No headaches, dependable and cheap to own.
Literally, Rich, this is just about my life story. I owned a Neon, too! I can't wait (well, I have to) but I hope the last chapter of my car ownership ends with the 911 Turbo S in a blue color. I always ask Santa and anyone else I meet for a 911 Turbo S whenever they ask what I want. They think I'm joking, for some reason. One day. Oh, and I laughed at the HNIC reference because it's something my dad (also a Corvette lover) enlightened me to, because, well, he was the HNIC of our household ^_^ I love this video and look forward to where it's about my story!
I, too, had a Neon. It was this awful purple color, and my coworkers at the shop called it Barney. But at least it was a manual, and a 2-door, which was very rare. It was fun to drive, and I was able to chirp 3rd gear (somehow). When my wife picked up her grandmother who came to visit, her grandmother loved the car and insisted that it was a Porsche. My wife didn't have the heart to tell her...
Seriously nice example that is Rich, you really can't go wrong with a Turbo / Turbo S. The only mod I'd do initially would be replacing the amber markers on the front/side. Get some clear or smoked Euro spec ones on there!
Here's what happened next! - ua-cam.com/video/DxjH_Z86nIU/v-deo.html
UPDATE. Pat with the NSX ended up buying a Porsche Cayman S and enjoys driving it more than the NSX. You can’t make this up!
Get some 3 piece rims and that's it , nothing more needs to be done . Uncle rich how u not selling u r fleet ,lol
I'd rather have a manual Cayman than ether the 911 turbo or the NSX, it's more analog to drive.

Any ICE Porsche, that also is a manual, let alone air cooled, will only appreciate. Electrification is the future and coming on fast, and will make older sports cars incredibly desirable. Nice 👍
that aint a manual
@@rttrtt1374 Nor air cooled. Was just an example. Cool.
Electric cars are not the future. It won’t happen. Alt fuels will end up winning in the end. We can come back here in 20 years and see who wins.
@@jlehm Fossil fuel literally can not win this since there exists a limited amount while the sun/water/wind provides us with an infinite amount of energy… also it is not about 20 years from now on, it is about sustainability for the next centuries to come
@@noscoper1993 do you think wind turbines, solar arrays, and batteries are made from air? It takes finite resources and rare earth elements to create all of the infrastructure required for renewables. You’re literally trading one problem for another. You’re also not addressing how to dispose of the renewable tech at the end of its life cycle…

Me, "To check your pulse rate after launch ;) "

very nice spec Bermester sound system and lug nuts instead of center lock wheels

Love how there is already a thumbs down before the whole video has premiered. Someone has high standards.
Well he shows off and says ''tell me I'm wrong''. Of course some will be triggered.
Honestly, some people just want to be the first in anything, it doesn't matter what.
There are 72 now. Some drivers want to take their time and drive slow.
Probably a Chevy guy.
As a Massachusetts resident, and being in several Porsche 911's (friend's cars I am a muscle car guy)...Porsche is amazing daily for our crappy streets and even snow if you want. They just do everything well. Congrats Rich
From what Ive seen the NSX gets a lot of hate but man I just love how it looks that's 100% going to be a dream super car for me.
You are right! It is the best all around sports car that is my favorite. That was nice of you to let that kid launch your ride. I’d like to se you change out the wheels to a set of two or three piece BBS mesh wheels with the color of your choice!
From what I know, the blank buttons that you think is missing options actually aren't missing at all. Its just they used the same centre console in every Porsche and they could have other options such as a front lift.
Poor uncle Rich, guessed the shipping coast for his front spoiler. I hope they do not charge him for wiping it clean when it gets out of the box. Fun Show.
Crazy how far youve come dude. I remember the srt4 days. Went from cruising around worcester to 1.25M subs, and a legit business doing what you love. Congrats bro. BTW pretty sure I was on a flight from SD to BOS with you back in April #notcreepin
There is a Worcester in America? is it pronounced right? Should be 'Wouster'
@@citizenerased1992 it's in Massachusetts. We don't pronounce our Rs so we say it "Woostah", but yeah, definitely not worCHester. You are correct on the proper pronunciation tho.
Excellent choice, welcome to the Porsche community. I personally had to have a manual and picked up a 997.2 with the 6 speed.
"...get 80% of the driving experience for less than half the price." I've often thought this very thing about my car loves vs my budget.
The 911 is absolutely gorgeous! The factory wheels tho….are kinda ‘meh’ but the paint color is ON POINT.
Hi Rich, great episode! The 991 Turbo S has tons of power reserves. Mere reprogramming and freeflow airfilters yield 635hp, while larger vtg turbos and exhaust will take you around 685hp. Carbon brakes are nice but if one warps (hot brakes and a puddle) they need to both be changed! If you ever visit Jackie Steward’s Green Hell, Nordschleife Nürburgring, Germany, ALL Porsches are running steel brakes. They will still pull your eyeballs out. The pinnacle for this car comes from 9ff where 1600hp are possible. Looking forward to seeing what you do!.
"That uhh slaps harder than my dad's belt" 😂😂😂
That 911 is gorgeous, enjoy it Rich. You earned it!
Just saw this for the first time. Welcome to the Porsche club, Rich! I have the Taycan now, but that's bc I wanted a DD with lots of room for the family. Very happy with it. I've also owned 911's and they were lovely too. Enjoy!
Congratulations on your 911 Turbo!! 🥳🥳. I remember when I bought my 964 Turbo over 20 years in black. Bad Boys car. Wish I never sold it.
I’ve still got a few Porsches: 928 s4 924 turbo 944 but no 911.
That's the dream car I've had in my head since I was a kid. Even the colour. Uncle Rich has good taste, man.
The srt4s still hold a solid place in my heart. My first desired car while I was around 12 years old.
Congrats, Rich. Good luck with her, she’s beautiful. Love the plate too.
Congrats man! Always love seeing a guy who grew up in a neon get a real deal car. Porsche has historically done nothing for me emotionally, but I’m also coming around. A friend got a gt3 and it’s hard to argue. I still love my m3 for hooning around and having fun…but there might be a Porsche in my future if I ever decide to be a serious person 😂
If you have an M3 you already win at life.
Congrats Rich, once you go Porsche it's hard to go back. They're such good driver cars, all across the range from the Macan to the 911.
911 Turbo S has been my dream car for as long as I can remember (996) but up until a few years ago I started liking track cars, so now I think the best Sports Car ever is a GT2 RS
congrats Uncle Rich, great choice, love the color
Im partial to Mexico blue- but this color is wonderful and suites Rich and his car very well.
Rich, I my dad had the 944 when and last year I brought mines, 2020 Turbo S in racing silver, I have about 4K miles but every weekend I can, i love going for this ride. Hope you enjoy and it will be super reliable from what i know.
Agreed. This is the best car in the world. I’ve always thought this is the best car in the world.
What I learned from this video is you have to own a puffy vest to be a true Porsche owner.
Yes, I was going to comment on that observation as well. In addition to the puffy vest, most had on the same tennis shoes
@Eric B Money doesn't equal taste. LOL
Nice review. I’ve the exact same model. Even the same colour, sapphire blue. I had a 997.2 turbo before. The first thing that struck me with the 991 turbo S was the pin sharp brakes and steering. Incredible cars 😃 Enjoy!!
Love it! First upgrade you should do are new wheels. Maybe a set of speedline 5spoke/3piece
I didn’t know Rich was into marshal arts - Head Ninja In Charge, He must be a black belt or something

Super stoked to see more of this 911 on future uploads. The pinnacle of car enthusiast cars period
I am glad Rich will finally find out what a high quality car is)))
He had the RS7 before.

No. It's my dream car (a 959 reimagined by Canepa, can't even afford in my dream)......great analogy! The NSX! Great taste!
Happy for you mate, always like seeing somebody make it, it’s beautiful
As a lover of blue vehicles, and Porsches, that is a fantastic looking car. Yes, they have mesh covers for the intake ducts. Enjoy the ride and have fun with the club!
Honestly I'd keep it pure bro. That thing is gorgeous as it is. Maybe just darker wheels. But its perfect as it is. 💯
Just powdercoat the wheels blue.
@@pookysdad4884 wtf
@@pookysdad4884 gold for them subaru vibes lol
it was cute that uncle Rich thought it would be a grand at Porsche to fix that.
Yeah. It was almost that much for the inspection
I'm surprised a salesman wasn't called in to convince him that buying a brand new Porsche would actually be cheaper than fixing everything that's wrong on his. That's usually how they get you.
hot glue would fix it for 1$
@@dzonikg yes it would!
The 991.2 gt3 rs splitter however is dirt cheap. Its dirt cheap for porsche prices, as in 100-150$/piece, as its just plastic
Be glad you didn’t get the K5. Ours through a rod. It could go anywhere though. My dad once backed off an incline and rolled over, called a tow truck for a tip over; the wrecker got stuck, my dad pulled free back to the main road.
I'd say its easily the overall best car, no cap. Perfect allround daily driver sportscar.
It really is. Since i'm too poor for a 911 as a daily, i'll have to stick with the Model 3. For now....
“Drive my ungrateful kids to school in”💀
Those dam kids.

More than one kid? You're gonna need a trailer. LOL! 😂
I one a Boxster of the same generation, and yes the car is amazing. I think this generation of Porsche interior is probably the best, excluding the blank buttons in the center console, and even fully loaded cars can have blanks. The cup holders are also much better then they appear to function. All I can say is welcome to the Porsche family, their really great reliable cars to daily drive, and you’ll love it.
Without doubt, the single greatest plate of all time😂
This is and has been my dream car!!! Congratulations!!
Road and Track did 60 launches in a row in a test. They got tired before the car did. I think it actually picked up 2 tenths over the course of the test. (tires warmed up) Best was 2.4 I think.
thanks for buying a really good car finally Rich, I'm looking forward to see what you're going to do with it. #stroopwafels rule
Welcome to the PCA!!! Looking forward to seeing you at the next Porsche Parade.
Congrats and Welcome to the Porsche fan club, Uncle Rich! People don't truly understand the 'Porsche' passion until they've own one. For me, the only way to relatively economically own one of these is to service it myself, so I learned how to. Even then is a strain on the pocket to say the least but one got to pay to play I guess. Cheers from PR!
"911 is the best sports car"
Jeremy: its a glorified beetle
It's the best garage queen you'll ever own.
@@RayleighCriterion Yep
Glory be to beetles then.
And Jeremy is right.
This and I've always found the shifters to be sloppy - at least the ones I've driven. Manual is very important to me and I'm not interested in paddle shifters.Not the best sports car to me, but each their own of course. But I'm spoiled - drive an RX-7 and see what I mean.
You're wrong. Owned two Porsches, both suffered catastrophic engine failures despite impeccable maintenance histories. Every time I brought then to the shop, I paid seven times the price for routine service. Replacement part and mechanical service costs are astronomical. Only purchase Japanese sportscars ever since. No headaches, dependable and cheap to own.
Anecdotal experience.
What was the mileage???
@@LegendInThaMakin probably lies too . Lol
Damn, I'm liking this dude, this dude knows exactly what he is doing in this channel..props to you bro..
Literally, Rich, this is just about my life story. I owned a Neon, too! I can't wait (well, I have to) but I hope the last chapter of my car ownership ends with the 911 Turbo S in a blue color. I always ask Santa and anyone else I meet for a 911 Turbo S whenever they ask what I want. They think I'm joking, for some reason. One day. Oh, and I laughed at the HNIC reference because it's something my dad (also a Corvette lover) enlightened me to, because, well, he was the HNIC of our household ^_^ I love this video and look forward to where it's about my story!
I, too, had a Neon. It was this awful purple color, and my coworkers at the shop called it Barney. But at least it was a manual, and a 2-door, which was very rare. It was fun to drive, and I was able to chirp 3rd gear (somehow). When my wife picked up her grandmother who came to visit, her grandmother loved the car and insisted that it was a Porsche. My wife didn't have the heart to tell her...

Seriously nice example that is Rich, you really can't go wrong with a Turbo / Turbo S. The only mod I'd do initially would be replacing the amber markers on the front/side. Get some clear or smoked Euro spec ones on there!
